Bugis Street Marketing Plan Competition 2012

1st August 2012 - This was the day when three teams from the 3rd year cohort of the Diploma in Business Administration, specialising in Marketing Management, emerged as finalists in the SP Business School - Bugis Street Marketing Competition 2012. Bugis Street had generously sponsored $3000 worth of shopping vouchers as prizes to the winners of this competition.

The Marketing Plan Competition provides an opportunity for final year students to apply what they have learnt to an authentic industry environment which enhances their creativity and originality in the creation of a real-world marketing plan. For the very first time, a cross modular approach was adopted where students incorporated all four marketing management option modules in the collaboration.Mr Ivan Loh, Executive Director from Bugis Street Development Pte. Ltd. was highly impressed with our student’s ability and professionalism in accomplishing so much within such a short time frame. Hwee Sin from the winning team said that the competition had trained her to be highly adaptable to real life situations. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” she remarked.

Best Speaker – Zoe Lim from The ‘A’ Team with Bugis Street Development Executive Director Mr Ivan Loh. Zoe Lim said, “Being in SP Business School for the past 2 years has taught me many things and that includes grooming me into becoming a more confident person. The experience I had in SP has been an enriching one. All my lecturers and friends have always been very supportive of me and encouraging me to go further. I would not have learnt this much if not for them and I am proud to say that I am a student from SP Business school- definitely!”

Friends and Classmates coming to the competition to give moral support.

Group reflection- Joining Singapore Polytechnic, we would have never expected to take part in a client-based competition like the SP Business School- Bugis Street Competition but our course in Business Administration gave us this opportunity. Not only has it broadened our horizons, it has also enriched us with real-life experiences. We enjoyed ourselves very much and would like to thank Mr. Kenneth Lee, our Marketing Management Lecturer and tutor for all the guidance in the Bugis Street Competition.
